When taking medicines, read the label...EVERY TIME. Always remember to check
the proper dose of medicine, especially when dosing children. Pay special
attention to the usage directions and warnings. Be careful when using these medications together as some of them contain identical ingredients, such as acetaminophen, that can lead to accidental overdose. Don't buy or use any medicine
from a package that shows cuts, tears, slices or other imperfections. Report
anything suspicious to the pharmacist or store manager. If you have questions
about your medicines, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or other health care
professional.
